To Smile or Not to Smile that is the Question

“Is a smile a question? Or is it the answer?”

Beach Braces Smile Quote #15 “Is a smile a question? Or is it the answer?”

Smiling is most definitely an answer. Sometimes when asking a question a smile is all that it takes. Think of all the times in the past couple days that you smiled.

In these instances when you smiled were you content with what you had discovered?  Is this what caused your boost in joy? Or was it because someone made you laugh and you were joyed with the feeling that it gave to you.

We respond to situations with our emotions, be it happy or sad. When we smile its because we are feeling something and we are sure that what is being felt is making us happy or we appreciate the nature of it.

Smiling is the answer for many things, but we need to start using it more often. In a place where there is no smiling, people will become hard and calloused in their hearts. It should be our goal to go to these places and share our joy with them.

Since laughter and smiles are contagious, we should desire to bring that to people who are without happiness. Of course there is a place and a time for everything, but if you feel that you could brighten someone’s day with a smile, by all means smile away!

You might be the only person that day who has tried to boost their spirits and in the end you could have made them very happy. The question shouldn’t be if we should share our smiles with one another. The question should be how.

How can we spread positivity with a smile to others?  Start by just smiling at people. Chances are they will return the favor with a smile.  When you are comfortable with telling jokes, share them with some friends and see their faces change from a blank stare to completely happiness. Whatever you do, be happy and share that smile with everyone!

Unfortunately many people cover their smile with their hand, as they don’t feel comfortable with their smile and don’t wish to wear braces. A good alternative are clear braces, named Invisalign, adults especially feel most at ease using these clear braces.

Smile Day

“If you don’t start the day with a smile, its not to late to start practising for tomorrow”

Perfect smile

Beach Braces Smile Quote #13 “If you don’t start the day with a smile, its not to late to start practising for tomorrow”

It is possible that you are so busy throughout the day that you might not have time to smile or take in something that you really appreciate or that makes you happy.

People who get stuck in day-to-day jobs that do not bring them happiness have a harder time staying upbeat and positive in the workplace.  Then when they get home their attitude is negative and all they want to do is go to bed and hope for the weekend.

Why should you live life like this?  Shouldn’t you want to be happy in your job?  I know that this probably sounds crazy, but in the midst of all the hustle and bustle remind yourself every day to smile.  A good old saying that you should remember daily says, “you aren’t fully dressed until you put a smile on”.  It is guaranteed that the more that you smile the more energy and positivity that you will bring to yourself and other around you.

Smiling is contagious, so why wouldn’t you start smiling to bring more upbeat positivity to your workplace or even in your home?  Make it a point to smile at least once after your wake up, twice while you are at work, and then when you get home for the night you should start to see some changes.

Even if you find yourself in the middle of the day and you have forgotten to put on your smile, its not too late.  Go ahead and smile away!  You will begin to see the change on your face and others around you.  Make this your daily habit and you will begin to see the changes in yourself and those dear to you.

Smile that Stress Away

 “Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it”

Beach Braces Smile Quote #12 “Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it”

Have you ever looked in the mirror when you were smiling?  If you haven’t recently go over to the mirror and start smiling at yourself.  Notice how happy you look?  Now, most of the time after I do this I end up making myself chuckle and then realize how silly I am being.

In that moment I am filled with happiness and all the stress that I have been dealing with has gone away.  A smile is something magical that can turn our worries away.  Why do we not smile more often?  It has also been said that laughter is the best medicine.

There are whole groups of people that meet together on a regular basis and have laughing times with each other.  They sit in a circle and use all of their energy to laugh.  When you laugh  you always feel good, right?  So why not share this happiness with others?  Some think that their smile isn’t good enough to share with the world.  They think that because they have a couple extra teeth or because their teeth are crooked they don’t need to smile anymore.

With the discovery of orthodontics over 100 years ago, we have the technology to straighten teeth for a more comfortable smile that you can call your own and share with the world.  Beach Braces wants to bring you to the point where you can be happy with your smile.  In a short amount of time you can have the smile that you have always wanted.

Stay Beautiful

“I’ve Never Seen a Smiling Face That Was Not Beautiful”

perfect smiles

Beach Braces Smile Quote #11 “I’ve Never Seen a Smiling Face That Was Not Beautiful”

When you are unhappy the first thing that starts to happen is that your face turns sour and your eyes begin to cross and you clench your fists, right? When you are happy your face can brighten up a room.  The corners of your mouth will begin to raise and in some instances you will show your teeth for a full and beautiful smile!  Scientists have proven that smiling causes happiness.

Take a look in the mirror.  Sound out the vowel e and notice how the corners of your mouth extend like they would when you are smiling.  Now think of something that is guaranteed to make you happy.  Your mouth stays the same.  Next sound out the vowel u.  Notice how your mouth draws inward.  Your eyebrows may drop a little.  This action by the face is also seen when we are upset.  Try to be happy and smile while you are sounding out the u.  Impossible isn’t it?  Every time that you go to think of a happy thought and smile, it causes your mouth to expand out, making you stop with the u and go to the e expression.

This also works in real life situations.  When you are happy and something makes you mad, it is very hard to keep smiling.   Instead we should think of it as the opposite.  When we are mad we should think of things that make us happy.

Then it is guaranteed that we would not be able to keep that frown on our face and bring happiness into our lives.  Next time you find yourself in a situation where you want to frown or you are upset, think of something funny or a happy memory and let yourself smile.  It will begin to melt your stress away!

“Most Smiles are Started by Another Smile”

Perfect Teeth Smiles

Beach Braces Smile Quote #10 “Most Smiles are Started by Another Smile”

Here is a test for you.  Go to Google.com, click images, and then type smile in the search bar.  Look at  the first 100 images.  Naturally after seeing so many smiles, one cannot help but smile themselves.  Let’s face it smiling is contagious.  Now just start smiling at someone.

See their reaction?   They are either going to immediately start smiling back, or they are going to ask what is wrong with you while they are smiling.

Just a small little gesture can affect so many people.  There are some that choose not to smile because they think their teeth are not beautiful enough for a smile.  With corrective braces and other orthodontic options, you too can have a beautiful smile to share with others.

There was a girl who would smile in all her school pictures up until the time that she was in the third grade and other people started making fun of her.  From then on she wouldn’t smile for pictures and if she would smile in person, she would just put her hand in front of her mouth.  Her parents took her to an orthodontist for a consultation.

In about 2 weeks she had a mouth full of metal and hopes of one day having a smile that she could be proud of.  A couple years later she was able to take the braces off.  The first time that she saw her smile, she couldn’t believe that it was hers.  Now in every picture that you see of her she has her teeth showing and is very happy.

In fact, she smiles all the time.  If you are like this girl, why not give Beach Braces a chance and schedule a consultation.  You too can have the smile of your dreams and share happiness with a smile with the world.

It is said that a smile counters negative thoughts and feelings.  Try to think of something negative but put a really big smile on your face.  Are you able to still think negative thoughts? Surprisingly people are finding that the more they smile, the happier they seem to be.

Why not share that smile with someone else?  They will be caught up in your smile and they will begin to smile, getting rid of negativity one smile at a time.  Beach Braces strives to give you the smile that you have always wanted so you will have the chance to share your smile with others.  Crooked teeth can create stress on other teeth and jaws.

This type of misalignment can affect your bite and overall your beautiful smile.   There are different options available for orthodontic correction.  Invisalign is a clear method that straightens your teeth without the use of wires, brackets, or rubber bands. Many have preferred this method because it is clear and straightens their teeth without the bulky metal.  Invisalign is customized to fit your teeth, providing maximum comfort, are clear for confidence, and are super effective.  Another added benefit is that they are clear!  About every two weeks you will get another aligner if you choose this option.

Each week your teeth will gradually be getting better.  You can remove the aligners while you eat or even when you floss and brush your teeth.  Invisalign not only give you a better smile, but help you on your way to becoming a better you.  Get in touch with Beach Braces today for a consultation!

Smile the Grouch Away

“If You Want to Spoil the Day of a Grouch, Give him a Smile”

invisalign smile

 

Beach Braces Smile Quote  #4

I know it’s hard, but it’s often the best way to not only ruin a grouches day but to boost your own, as the simple act of smiling reduces stress and releases mood enhancing endorphins. It’s still a mystery why humans are the only species that laugh, but I think I can safely say that in doing so you definitely feel better.

The first iconic smiley face was drawn in 1963 by American commercial artist Harvey Ball in under ten minutes and went on to sell for $45 to an insurance company who wanted to roll out a mood enhancing marketing campaign. If you’re curious how far away you can use your new found anti grouch super powers from, the answer is 33 feet.

So next time that grouch tries to ruin your day smile them into mercy. :)

If you want to create the perfect smile but are not keen on traditional braces, why not see if you are a eligible for clear braces, namely Invisalign, if you have any further question please contact us using the details below.

Mom and Dad Can Have Perfect Teeth Too

Beach Braces Office

If you have been considering adult orthodontic braces so that you can have the straight teeth you always wanted, then read on. There are plenty of options available for adults to have braces, depending on your lifestyle, person preferences, and individual requirements. You will need to choose the style of braces that is best for you. But what are adult orthodontic braces, and how do you find the best option for you?

Conventional Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most common type of braces. This brace type is made from the highest grade of steel and they are affixed to the outside of your teeth. A few benefits to this type of braces are: durability, lack of discoloration, and speed of treatment.  Modern day metal braces are much smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive than those of even a decade ago.

Clear Ceramic Braces

The clear ceramic braces are attached to your teeth in the same manner as metal braces. However, because they tooth colored, they are less noticeable than the metal versions.

Lingual Bracesadult braces

Lingual braces are attached behind your teeth (the lingual side of the teeth). Lingual braces are completely hidden behind the teeth. Lingual braces have an adjustment period just like any other type of braces.

Invisible Braces (Clear Aligners)

Invisible braces are popular with adults and teens. Invisalign is comprised of a set of clear orthodontic trays that are called aligners. These aligners are customized to your mouth to accomplish the alignment that needs to take place for smile improvement. They are much less visible than braces. Teeth cleaning is easier because the aligners can be removed. However, this type of brace can only be used with simple teeth corrections. They are not designed to handle more complex cases but it’s not unknown to get a six month smile with Invisalign.

Which is the Best kind?

It really comes down to persona choice. There are pros and cons to each type of braces, and choosing is very personal. Consider your priorities, budget, whether you wish to conceal your braces, and of course you should always take your orthodontists’s recommendations into consideration. One thing is for certain – you are never too old to have braces and have your teeth corrected. Talk to your orthodontist to get a better understanding of what your personal situation would entail.
